Santa Cristina Le Maestrelle Tuscany

Fifteen percent of this ruby-red Santa Cristina Le Maestrelle Toscana matures in barriques, giving the intense aroma of red fruits a touch of vanilla and cocoa. The 'Le Maestrelle' presents itself as fresh and balanced, equally complex and long, with wonderfully soft tannins.

The three grape varieties were harvested at different times and therefore vinified separately. This allowed for the individual grape varieties to be followed in terms of fermentation and maceration, and thus the individual fragrance and the softness of their tannins to be highlighted. The fermentation temperature never exceeded 25°C, and pumping over was carried out with the utmost care. Syrah and Sangiovese were cold-fermented at 8°C before alcoholic fermentation to gently extract color and aromas. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation towards the end of October, 15% were then aged in barriques, the other part in steel tanks.

The Winery

Antinori

Marchesi Antinori from Florence is one of the oldest and most significant wineries in the world: Since 1385, the family has been continuously cultivating wine and still manages the company in its own hands today.

In 1971, together with oenologist Giacomo Tachis, Piero Antinori laid the foundation for a revolution when he created the Tignanello, the first Super Tuscan – a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend aged in barriques that permanently changed the wine world.

Today, Piero's daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia steer the company, which owns around 1,200 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany, Umbria, Piedmont, Apulia, and California. Tradition and a bold spirit of innovation are not opposites at Antinori, but the foundation of every single bottle.
